Nice catch! I never saw an official word on why she was at 08-4.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to film some of the launches/recoveries.

Even though I know the Russians won't bring the PAK-FA, how awesome would it be to see the F-22 in simulated combat with the PAK-FA?

All the fanboys including most of this board and me would pop like a bazillion *****s.
Some generations later historians would remark that 3 countries spent untold treasure to make planes that only ever played war.

When does my Chicom relatives show up to this party?

[Rattfink]

That will be a surprise party.
I don't know. I think Russo-American relations are leaps and bounds ahead of Sino-American. China and America, while economically more entwined, are culturally far more incompatible* IMO. Military joint exercises and exchanges are far off if even possible.
*I am speaking of course of governments.

My best friend of 12 years is an American. We're all humans after all.

No worries, we'll have outstanding pissing contest even without PAK-FA

God I hope so.. hope you never have to use em, but be prepared to do so.

It will be a real eye opener for Russians. The electronics, radars etc. in their planes are at least 20 years behind that of NATO. Clay pigeon shooting to be expected..
